- A150
- B112
- C175
- D96
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's examine the numerical relationship pattern for the given pairs:
First Pair: 9:87→9
2
+6=81+6=87
Third Pair: 8:70→8
2
+6=64+6=70
Notice that a constant value of +6 is being added to the square of the first number.
Now let's apply this exact mathematical rule (Number
2
+6) to the missing middle term with 12:
Missing Number=12
2
+6=144+6=150
First Pair: 9:87→9
2
+6=81+6=87
Third Pair: 8:70→8
2
+6=64+6=70
Notice that a constant value of +6 is being added to the square of the first number.
Now let's apply this exact mathematical rule (Number
2
+6) to the missing middle term with 12:
Missing Number=12
2
+6=144+6=150
